The Best Inexpensive Wines Available Now

I'm always on the lookout for good wines at a fair value. Ok so maybe cheap wines that taste expensive. Anyway, are there wines that you've had recently that you would consider a terrific value for the price? I personally enjoy the merlot and chardonnay from Clos du Bois which both cost about $14 in New Hampshire. To relax with a glass of either and listen to my music (classical and jazz) does make the early evening sit pleasingly well.

Mad Fish Chardonnay - unoaked Australian chardonnay (around $12-14 a bottle). Crisp citrus flavors - best to be savored next summer in New England...

Tropical treat recently tasted -

Yalumba Viognier

"On the crisp side, with pretty honeysuckle and spice notes around a nice core of pear and citrus flavors, finishing bright." - 88 Points Wine Spectator May 15, 2003"

Not particularly good at making comments myself, but was struck by how unique this tasted - assertive notes up front, w/a body that stands up to Asian cuisine. Definitely a tropical delight to pair with summer fare (although tasted in winter).

About $9 on sale at NH liquor stores - probably $10-12.
